With the scarcity of available land and more Amish folks finding employment outside of the fold it seems an education beyond the 8th grade would be beneficial for some. However, learning a trade through an apprenticeship or simply on the job training offers a solid education, as well. It would be wonderful if the child could choose his/her educational journey. For that matter, it would be nice if the parents could.

In England and Canada there are several Islamic communities that use Sharia courts to handle civil issues within their groups. Though these countries find spousal abuse against the law, in Sharia courts a man can legally beat his wife up to three times a day without consequence. I wonder if there are other groups that are exempt from laws the population at large must obey?
